Had to come back to Twitter to share a devastating news . This one hit close to home cos it happened to a very good friend. With his permission , and heavy heart …Nigeria is designed to kill you.
The stories about Fulani herdsmen destroying people’s farmlands with absolute impunity and immunity is real . Very real . My friend’s over 40 acres of farmland was obliterated by Fulani herdsmen. He had hoped to retire his dad who has been in the US almost 30 years .
Those are pictures of the property when everything was good. Massive investment from him and his siblings . All they wanted to do was help and support their father. Millions and millions of naira poured into it . Their blood and sweat bro. I am livid ! Next is what is left of it
One of the herdsmen legit told them ‘ God owns the land so we can do whatever we want on it ‘ . The audacity man and of course no one will be held accountable. The ‘poor’ ain’t eating the rich, they are consuming the middle class. Which is pretty much all of us!
Faces of some of the terrorists. State backed trespassers who can not only destroy your property but has license to kill with no fear of getting arrested or justice . I know some Yal want a United Nigeria , but this union is not working . And it will continue to get worse.
I am so sorry @DaReAlkay . I know the sacrifices you put into this. I could feel the pain in your voice and the courage it took to share. This is one loss that out a dagger in my heart cos all you wanted was make your father happy. Really sorry my brother ❤️
